Easy Mojito Mocktail
Serves 1
An easy mocktail recipe for summer that’s a huge crowd-pleaser is an alcohol-free mojito. Served ice cold, this mocktail is simple, delicious and made from just a few ingredients that you can grab from the supermarket. Our alcohol-free recipe is similar to our classic mojito recipes, but we’ve made this one mintier for an extra kick.
Ingredients:
1 cube sugar
3 mint sprigs
1 can DASH cucumber sparkling water
handful of ice
1 lime
Glassware: Tumbler
Method:
1. Add your sugar cube, mint leaves and juice from half a lime to a bowl and crush with the back of a spoon. This will bruise the mint to release its flavours and blend the lime and sugar.
2. Once crushed, add your mixture to a glass of ice and top with cucumber sparkling water.
3. Stir thoroughly, topping with wedges of your leftover lime.
Easy Moscow Mule Recipe
A Moscow mule is considered to be one of the best summer drinks because of its refreshing taste and icy serving temperature. We’d argue that our Moscow mule mocktail is even more refreshing because replacing the vodka with the raspberry kick keeps it lighter and fruitier.
Ingredients:
3 mint sprigs
1 lime
DASH raspberry sparkling water
handful of ice
Glassware: Tumbler, chilled (a traditional Moscow mule is served in a copper mug, so feel free to use that if you have one)
Method:
1. Add the juice of half the lime to a bowl along with your mint. Crush with the back of a spoon to bruise and blend.
2. Add your crushed ingredients to a glass with ice and muddle.
3. Top with raspberry sparkling water, then garnish with lime wedges
